2025 Offering Letter Acknowledgement
The 2025 Church in Irvine offering acknowledgement letters have now been distributed by email from offering@churchinirvine.org. If you are expecting one and haven’t received it, please check your other folders (including junk folder), and if you do not find it please email us at that address. While all donations to the church in Irvine are generally tax deductible, the IRS only requires taxpayers to obtain acknowledgement letters for individual donations of $250 or greater. Therefore the acknowledgement letters only reflect donations meeting that criteria.
New and Improved Method for Receiving Language Translation at LSM Live Conferences and Trainings
Living Stream Ministry is now offering a new form of wireless audio translation via Bluetooth broadcast, called Auracast™️. Instead of the traditional one-to-one pairing of classic Bluetooth, Auracast allows an unlimited number of compatible receivers to connect simultaneously. No pairing is required.
Initially, Living Stream Ministry will offer Auracast translation for English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Russian. To use the Aurcast transmission, an Auracast-enabled headphone/receiver is required. The official LSM announcement can be found here: https://www.lsm.org/translation/.
English-speaking saints planning on attending the upcoming ICSC in Anaheim in February will need to purchase an Auracast-ready device. They are readily available on Amazon.
Sisters' Fellowship Recordings
On Saturday, November 1, every sister (of all ages) in the church in Irvine gathered for the sisters’ fellowship. The recordings from that time are now available online, including both sessions from Saturday and a special one-hour supplementary word that Brother Minoru recorded for the sisters.
Special Fellowship on the Lord's Move in Italy and in French-and German-Speaking Europe
A special fellowship was held at the 2025 June semiannual training concerning the Lord’s up-to-date move in Europe as a whole and specifically in Italy and in French- and German-speaking Europe. A video recording of that fellowship is available at lordsmove.org/reports.html.
South OC Labor Day Conference Recordings

Fellowship unto the Furtherance of the Gospel - Madrid
The church in Madrid, Spain, would like to purchase a house next door to its meeting hall for approximately $1.5 million, that would, together with the meeting hall and a second neighboring house already purchased and owned by the church, give the church possession of an entire city block. By such consolidating the ownership of the whole block, the church anticipates multiplying its capacity to host conferences and receive hospitality for the purpose of blending, since Madrid plays a central role in the Lord’s move in Europe’s Iberian Peninsula. If you are burdened to make a donation to be applied towards the purchase of this house in Madrid, you can do so directly or through the church in Irvine’s website by designating your offering as being for the “Madrid House”. For the full letter from the church in Madrid, please click here.
Offerings by Zelle
Offerings to the church in Irvine can now be made via Zelle.
The church’s Zelle account is: Zelle@churchinirvine.org
The benefit of making offerings by Zelle is that there are no transaction fees charged to the church. If the offering is for a particular matter please designate that in the memo field.
If your Zelle limit is below the offering amount you would like to give, it is often possible to raise that limit by requesting that your bank increase your transaction limit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For those already using Zelle related to other matters (e.g., paying rent for corporate housing), you should continue using the same Zelle address as before.
For any questions please email offering@churchinirvine.org. (Note: Do not Zelle funds to this email address)
